Listen to the music of the traffic in the city 🌃 .

📍Dubbed “Hollywood’s First Home of Spoken Drama”, the El Capitan started as a theatre in 1926 before cycling through various iterations and hardships. It now belongs to Disney and serves as the venue for majority of Disney’s film premieres. It’s still kind of surreal walking past iconic boulevards and cinemas such as these, knowing that famous movies that play out millions of miles away in other parts of the world begin their humble and yet legendary lives on these pavements. It’s so far removed and so uncomfortably near, all the same time.

Some days are diamonds 💎 .

📍... and some days are stones. Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon formed by the erosion of Navajo sandstone over millions of years. Rainwater rushes into the basin above the slot canyons, picking up sand as it goes swirling into the narrow passageways below. Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my bones. The beauty of this wondrous place is compounded by the fact that it looks like nothing (literally, a slot) from above ground. Accessible by guided tour only, sand falls through the cracks periodically and it is extremely prone to flash flooding (which is how these are formed in the first place). Sometimes the hard times won’t leave you alone. We were extremely lucky to catch the late morning sunlight — we heard they evacuated the later groups for flash flooding risk later in the day. But you know, these days are still diamonds, for all that they are stone. John Denver says so.

A few years ago, you said, “I’d never stop courting you.” And yes, you never did. Thank you for today, my love. Happy 3.4! I was wearing the smile you gave me today and will surely still be wearing it tomorrow. I love you! ❤️😘

And I bet, and you exploded in my heart. And I forget, I forget — the movie song. When you gonna realise, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
